In this work, we have synthesized carbon nanotubes (CNT) using different bio-hydrocarbon precursors namely palm, olive, coconut, corn and sesame oils. Prior to the synthesis process, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) characterization was performed on the carbon precursors to facilitate the optimizati...
